TransUnion CIBIL report reveals rise in small-ticket personal loan delinquencies

TransUnion (NYSE:TRU) CIBIL's Credit Market Indicator (CMI) for Q2 2023 has revealed a rise in balance-level serious delinquencies across all product categories, with the exception of credit cards and personal loans. The report indicates that the delinquency rate for consumers with at least one small-ticket personal loan increased by 120 basis points year-on-year to 5.4%. Despite this increase, MD and CEO Rajesh Kumar stated that the financial stability remains robust due to strong retail credit growth and broadly stable delinquency levels.

The report highlights that small-ticket personal loans of less than ₹50,000 account for only 0.3% of the total retail loan book size at an industry level. However, these loans have seen a significant increase in disbursals since January 2022, representing about 25% of total origination volumes. This rise in small-ticket personal loans has had a marginal impact on the overall retail loan portfolio, which includes home loans, auto loans, credit cards, personal loans, and consumption loan products.

In addition to the rise in small-ticket personal loans, early vintage delinquency trends also saw an increase in Q3 FY23 on consumption loan products compared to Q3 FY20. Lenders have flagged these rising delinquencies on small-ticket unsecured retail loans following a caution from the Reserve Bank of India.

On a positive note, the report showed that overall retail loan originations grew by 1% year-on-year during the quarter, led by semi-urban and rural consumers and consumption-led demand. However, loan originations among new-to-credit consumers fell by 4%. In Q1 FY24, more than half of consumers who availed small-ticket personal loans already had more than four credit products. The report also noted that originations among younger consumers aged 18-30 years remained steady amid changing borrower profiles.
